The Linear Tape File System (LTFS) is the first file system that works in
conjunction with LTO tape technology to set a new standard for ease of use and
portability for open systems tape storage. With this system, accessing data
stored on an LTO Ultrium tape cartridge is as easy and intuitive as using a USB
flash drive. And with the operating system's graphical file manager and
directory tree, utilizing data on an LTO Ultrium tape cartridge is as easy as
dragging and dropping.

LTO-5 and LTO-6 specifications enable the capability for two media partitions
which can be independently accessed to help provide faster data access and
improved data management.

With LTFS, one partition holds the content and
the other holds the content’s index; the tape can be self-describing to improve
archive management.

Enables capabilities that manage files directly on
tape allowing for easy sharing of the tape cartridge across platforms.

Makes viewing and accessing tape files easier than ever before. Explore tape
content with directory tree structures and drag and drop files to and from the
tape.

Can be used in production, post production and archive of digital
video assets.
